The purpose of this blog is to share what I am doing as an artist, both successes and failures, and to act as a tutorial. Events and anything else related to textiles and art will be covered as well; plus life with all its vagaries.

A leap in faith....

Further work on my experimental piece this week. Not quite finished yet but getting close.

Here is the piece after doing the following.....

To add the black background smudges I first cleared an old formica table top (any smooth surface would do) and taped registration marks for the piece. The areas where I did not want the smudges were masked off with freezer paper.

Then black pigment was painted on to the table surface, the piece turned over and rolled down on to the black pigment. The result is as seen in the first photo.

About Me

I am an artist working with dyes and textile pigments on cloth. Many textile and painting applications are applied to achieve each piece. I express my interest in universal social and environmental conditions as themes for my work. Telling a story is paramount.
